Chapter 16 Section VI

Ever since he received the gray pigeon in the afternoon, Yu Runsheng had been sitting on the tiger leather chair in the study without standing up once. It was already dusk outside the window, and the slanting sunlight came in with a layer of mist. Zao Qi crouched in the corner of the study, plucking her curly hair like a monkey.Up to now, he is not used to sitting on a chair, but finds squatting the most comfortable. Having served as Yu Runsheng's close friend for a long time, Zao Qi overheard the conversation between the master and everyone, but he didn't have enough wisdom to figure out the whole plan.He only knew that there was a very important person who had to die today, as long as Yu Runsheng gave an order, Zao Qi would set out to kill this person without hesitation.Yu Runsheng didn't order, that is, he didn't need to do this matter.

——He felt that all he needed to understand was enough. There was a knock on the door. Yu Runsheng's eyes suddenly sparkled. "Come in." It was Li Lan who opened the door and entered.She is holding a plate in her hand with dishes and meals on it. The light in Yu Runsheng's eyes disappeared instantly. "You haven't eaten all day..." Li Lan put the plate on the table next to the study, and then picked up a ceramic bowl that was steaming. "I think you probably don't have an appetite... so I cooked pepper fish soup." Li Lan carefully placed the soup bowl on the desk in front of her husband.Herbs floating on the noodle soup are as thick as milk.

"And those meals are for Zao Qi." Zao Qi smelled his favorite aroma of roasted chicken.He licked his lips, showing his jackal-like fangs, and looked at Yu Runsheng asking for permission. "you eat." Yu Runsheng waved his hand, and Zao Qi jumped over immediately, without using chopsticks, grabbed the roasted chicken nuggets and stuffed them into his mouth, chewed and swallowed the meat and bones. "I'll drink this soup later." When Li Lan heard it, her face was slightly disappointed, she turned around and was about to leave, when she heard Yu Runsheng's call behind her: "Lan."

Yu Runsheng stood up and went around to the desk, gently grasping Li Lan's rough hands.His expression was still a little gloomy, but his voice was very gentle. "Don't worry." Li Lan hated herself a little.At this time, I should not have my husband waste energy to comfort himself. She took a deep breath and forced herself to hold back the tears that were about to fall. Li Lan knew six years ago that she was not married to an ordinary man, and being his wife was destined to endure all this. ——But she really can't think about it: such a day, she doesn't know when it will end...

Under the fading and reclining sunlight, they continued to embrace each other for a long time... The sound of someone rushing up to the second floor. Seeing the door opened, Hua Que Wu went in, but what she didn't expect to see was Zao Qi who was gobbling up, and Yu Runsheng and his wife who were embracing, and couldn't help being stunned. Li Lan wanted to break away in shame, but Yu Runsheng didn't let her go. "It doesn't matter, just talk." "My eyeliner is back to report." Huaquewu's Adam's apple swallowed nervously. "Rong Yushan dismissed all the subordinates stationed in the city, including the group who were monitoring here, and most of the people stationed in the 'Fengxiangfang Branch' also dispersed."

The light in Yu Runsheng's eyes appeared again. "It seems that he has already heard the news from the palace." After the rebels disturbed the Forbidden Garden, if Rong Yushan continued to gather a large number of subordinates, it would arouse great suspicion.And in the short term, he can no longer make huge dispatches. "Also, Fengxiangfang has dispatched fast-horse envoys three times. We are afraid of exposing the surveillance, so we can't send people to follow them, but we can be sure that all of them are heading north." To the north, in the direction of the imperial city.

Li Lan felt that Yu Runsheng's palm holding her was clenched tightly due to excitement.She was in a little pain, but she endured it without making a sound. "Rong Yushan must be asking for a meeting with Lun Xiao. He sent three times in a row, but was rejected by Lun Xiao." "I think so too." Huaquewu nodded vigorously. Alright, the scene in the western suburbs has taken effect. There are two thick layers of armor that have protected Rong Yushan for a long time-strong political connections and overwhelming numbers.Now these two layers of armor have been removed, exposing the weak flesh.

At the moment, the only ones who can move freely in the underworld in the capital are the secret army in Yashou, and the "Thirty Shop General League" led by Meng Zhen. "We will decide everything within tonight." Yu Runsheng's eyes were full of splendor. Li Lan didn't look at Yu Runsheng, she knew that her husband's face became terrible at such moments. She looked at the cold bowl of soup still on the desk.
The headless corpse of a woman, her naked body riddled with arrows, was impaled upside down on a cavalry lance. The spear point is inserted through the neck break and pierced upwards through the vulva.The limbs hanging in the air twisted strangely, the blood had already flowed out along the shaft of the spear, and the skin of the whole body was miserable pale, but it turned yellow like wheat under the setting sun.

The woman's head and the heads of the other 487 men, women, and children were arranged in piles of five hairs in the open space in the center of Tianmugu Village. The Praetorian Guards began to collect and burn the bodies.The smell of burning corpses mixed with the aroma of barbecue that filled the air.Zheng Shichang, who was guarding under the spear, smelled it, and remembered that he had been eating barbecue for so many days, and his stomach couldn't help but churn. He knelt down to rest, trying to suppress the nausea.But when he bent down, the blood-soaked land was right in front of him.The blood was soaked in the mud, and the muddy foam came out.The strong fishy smell rushed to his face, and Zheng Shichang vomited immediately.

After vomiting everything in his stomach, he wiped his mouth and stood up weakly. Black smoke from burning corpses rose into the darkening sky.Zheng Shichang looked up along the smoke column, and there were hundreds of crows clustered in the sky, hovering like a black cloud, waiting for the human soldiers and horses to leave before descending to eat the remaining meat. Zheng Shi often felt dizzy. Everything around is like a too realistic nightmare.
